    Wait! Americans don't have accents. It's everyone else who has an accent.

    There is the siren-monotone American accent, then there is the typical Wild West one, and a whole bunch of others.

    I can visualize the Wild West one. It's kinda like what Bush sounds like. There's a southern one (like southeast US). There's a northern (Northeast/New England) one. There's a Great Lakes one that Sarah Palin sounds like (even though she's from Alaska). I think Louisianna has one all it's own. Those are just some regional ones. Then there are cultural ones, like surfer-speak and gangsta-speak.

    Who uses a siren-monotone accent. I can't imagine what that one sounds like.

    Don't forget the Bronx - New Yohkah accent that is usually confused for a northern-New Jersey accent - those people who can't say their r's.
